Summary/Abstract: This report presents a part of a larger experiment, during which students read five media texts on the same topic and answer questions based on them. The end goals of the experiment, as well as the methodology and the results are presented. The analysis shows that students from the upper classes of high school do not have experience with reading media texts from different online sources. In so far as reading and understanding media writing is part of functional literacy, the results of this questionnaire are a rather troubling sign of gaps within students‘ knowledge, which can only be made up for by systematic and focused efforts on the part of educational institutions.
